I could also be hurt by a completely new therapist. If I consulted T1 I would have “defences” in place.. as in fact I would with any therapist. At least those are my thoughts..

This makes a lot of sense to me.
In the last 2 years, because I've had social support in bits and pieces from several different sources, I think some cohesion/integration AND a "psychological skin" that keeps bad stuff out has been building.
If you saw T1 again, that would provide a test case for yourself. If you know you can keep the bad stuff out, then it may be that you could find the experience . . .well, interesting. Further growth-inducing. So long as your defences are in place.
If it didn't work. . .oh, well. Labrat's experience seems relevant here.
Just my thoughts.
